Why I finally admitted I was powerless over alcohol

Three years ago I had hit my personal rock bottom, and was at a point where I was ready to take my own life. And yet here I stand, today, blessed to be three years into a life fully-recovered, healthy, and completely free from any desire to even touch alcohol.

There are countless women who think there is no hope left.

I feel mandated to be part of the message of hope that recovery and freedom can happen, and to help people see the truth of what alcoholism can look like – that it begins, for many of us, with a very unhealthy relationship with "wine o'clock".

Many a work-day ended for me with a wine or two. Over time, for me, that "one harmless glass" of wine insidiously became one bottle, and then two.
